It confirmed to PCGamesN that Ghost Recon Breakpoint will only be available from the service, as well as Ubisoft’s proprietary Uplay client, becoming the third game from the publisher to be offered only on the EGS alongside The Division 2 and Anno 1800.

However, there is a substantial difference between The Division 2 plus Anno 1800 and Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Before going exclusive to the Epic Games Store, both The Division 2 and Anno 1800 were previously offered for pre-orders on Steam before being pulled from the store, whereas this time round, Ghost Recon was never advertised for the Valve storefront from the get-go. In the case of The Division 2, it was a decision has seemingly paid off.

We’ve asked Ubisoft if the game will eventually become available on other storefronts like Steam down the line, but have yet to receive a response as of writing.

Until that happens, and going by the news confirmed by Ubisoft today, don’t expect that to happen anytime soon. As for Ghost Recon Breakpoint itself, Ubisoft confirmed it’ll launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as well as PC, on October 4.
